Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er cru Porusots 2019

95 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "The gently-pressed bunches from Porusots are fermented and aged in cask, with a good proportion of new wood, yet this does nothing to obscure the purity of the lemony fruit on the nose, while the texture on the elegant palate is well balanced, with fresh acidity. The Porusots is a stand-out bottling from this domaine, it being a wine of lovely intensity and structure. Drinking Window: 2024-2039. (Oct 2020)"

93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Meursault Les Porusots 1er Cru has one of the feistier aromatics from Dominique Lafon, featuring vibrant yellow plum, marmalade and orange pith aromas, very well defined and wonderfully assimilated with the oak. The palate is balanced with a crisp bead of acidity that offsets the richness; elegant and refined, leading to a silky-smooth hazelnut and spice-infused finish. This represents a superb followup to the impressive 2018 but might not surpass it. We will find out. Drink: 2023-2045. (Dec 2020)"

93-95 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Cool and decidedly restrained aromas only grudgingly reveal the notes of green fruit, essence of spiced pear and plenty of citrus elements. The powerful yet quite sleek larger-scaled flavors are tautly muscular before culminating in a strikingly persistence finish that also has a slightly chewy quality to it. Note that this is very firmly structured and a wine that is clearly built to repay long-term keeping. In a word, excellent. Drink: 2034+. (Jun 2021)"

92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Two thirds of the vines are nearly 70 years old. The 2019 Porusots shows a discreet yet crystalline character, taking on a little reduction. Dominique tells me that Porusots is always slow to ripen then slow to ferment. The fruit seems to appear on the palate in slices, of equal ripeness, this has a better balance than its predecessors in the line-up, Bouchères and Goutte d’Or. (Oct 2020)"

91-93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Porusots opens in the glass with notes of citrus oil, almond paste, white flowers and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, its satiny attack segues into a tightly wound mid-palate and a mouthwateringly chalky finish. (Jan 2021)"
